DDs nursery informed me last night that there is outbreak of hands, foot and mouth virus in baby room. Checked the symptoms and think DD2 has it but because blisters are almost solely in groin area we've (i.e. nursery and myself) all assumed it is nappy rash (did coincide with a bout of teeth as well).. Am thinking it is hands, foot mouth because a few blisters are starting to resemble chicken pox. She has a couple of minute spots around her mouth and some bumps under the skin on her feet. The thing is that she has had the groin bumps since the weekend but can't get a docs appointment and can't get through to NHS direct and can't find an answer as to how long she is contagious for. Nursery very unclear as to when they'll take her back......So, only the 16th bout of illness this year then! Here's hoping still have a job tomorrow!
